An internal disciplinary panel has found an LAPD officer not guilty of administrative charges after the individual was accused of violating department policy by circulating a social media meme around Valentine’s Day that mocked the death of George Floyd.

“The decision means the officer, a sergeant who works at the LAPD’s air support division, will not face termination, suspension, or other discipline, as was suggested would happen by Chief Michel Moore when word of the meme investigation became public earlier this year,” according to NBC4’s I-Team, which reported that “LAPD confirmed the finding on Tuesday.”
